Cabbage. 
There is no garden vegetable grown that success or fail¬ 
ure so plainly depends upon the quality of seeds sown. Poor 
seed of Cabbage is dear at any price. Our seed is all raised 
on Long Island, where the finest Cabbages in the world are 
grown. We could buy common Cabbage seed for very much 
less, but we know our customers would rather pay a little 
more and get seed they can rely upon. Three things are 
necessary to raise fine Cabbages: Extra good seed, rich 
mellow soil and thorough cultivation. 
Childs’ Bismarck —This wonderful cabbage, introduced by 
us some years ago, was produced by cross-fertilizing ex¬ 
tra fine strains of Drumhead, Flat Dutch and Large 
Drumhead Savoy; then by careful selection and saving 
for several years a type was established entirely distinct 
J-nd, we believe, superior to any other Cabbage. It shows 
the Savoy blood by dark green color and slightly' wavy 
leaves, though not crinkled. It possesses the largest size 
ever attained in Drumhead or Flat Dutch and the superb 
quality of the Savoy. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 36c.; lb., $2.75. 
Newark Early Flat Dutch —An early large Cabbage of ex¬ 
cellent quality of the flat-head type. Pkt., 10c.; oz„ 30c.; 
lb., $3.00. 
Excelsior Large Flat Dutch— This is a fine strain of Flat 
Dutch, always a standard sort, particularly in the South 
and Southwest, as it heads well in hot weather. Quality 
good and size large. Pkt., oc.; oz., 15c.; lb., $1.50. 
True Su rehead— This is also of the Flat Dutch type, and 
therefore very certain to head, however hot and dry the 
weather. The heads are large, round and fiat, and very 
hard and firm of texture, fine grained, and of most ex¬ 
cellent quality. It is also a remarkably 7 good shipper and 
keeper, and is bound to become a universal favorite. 
Pkt., 10c.; oz., 20c.; lb., $3.00. 
Wlnningstadt —This is a German variety; very distinct* 
with large, pointed heads, solid and closely packed, 
very fine quality and exceedingly popular. Pkt., 5c.1 
oz., 15c.; lb., $1.50. 
Red Dutch —The most popular pickling Cabbage. Large 
deep red. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 10c.; lb., $2.00.
